Title: Method for implementing a digital coin system using a blockchain
Inventor: Michaella Pettit
IPC: G06Q20/40
Filed: 2020-04-21
Abstract: Disclosed is a system 600 for issuing digital coins with a blockchain. A digital coin is issued by an issuer 601 (e.g. a bank) to a spender 602 (e.g. a customer). The digital coin has an associated serial number and represents an asset (e.g. an amount of fiat currency). At issuance, the spender obtains a withdrawal transaction whose output comprises a hash of the coin’s serial number. The withdrawal transaction is recorded on the blockchain. To spend their coin, the spender presents a redeemer 603 (e.g. a retailer) with the coin’s serial number. The redeemer determines whether the serial number is present on the blockchain. If so, the coin has already been spent and the redeemer may reject the coin. If the serial number is not already present on the blockchain, the redeemer obtains a spending transaction comprising the coin’s serial number. The spending transaction is recorded on the blockchain. The issuer obtains the spending transaction and determines whether the coin serial number therein is already present in a database of spent coin serial numbers. If not, the issuer transfers the asset represented by the coin to the redeemer. The system is intended to reduce attempts to double spend coins.
